The Taser was ineffective and Palmer continued to flee on foot towards St. Catherine's Hospital, where police were able to take him into custody.

Investigators located the 40-year-old woman who said she was visiting a relative at the senior campus. She stated that Palmer had confronted her in the elevator and struck her in the head and face and attempted to strangle her.

Palmer was taken into custody and faces charges of burglary, battery, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, and two counts of strangulation.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Pleasant Prairie Police Department at 262-694-7353.
